As promised, here's the next phase of this painting. There's quite a bit more to do to pull the composition together. I don't care for the browns too much and must adjust the shapes the darks make. I actually liked this painting better in yesterday's post but knew it wasn't that strong yet to be finished, so I'm pushing it around a lot.The idea is to create the feeling of 'sooo many bikes everywhere.' Not sure when I'll find the solution, but when it happens, it'll be posted. It's great fun to explore a painting and see what shows up, and since this is on YUPO, just about anything can change. We'll see........ it's a journey worth taking!

I think it's great - but I guess I liked yesterday's a bit better too. What you can do with YUPO amazes me!
Oh yes...Iliked yesterday's better Sandy...it's the brown, just as you critiqued. I like some darks...but not brown. I sure which I could see the first steps on this painting. Did you draw on the yupo (pencil?) or use watercolor pencils or draw it first and then trace over your drawing? I like the nice design...it would be so much fun to hear you talking to yourself as you decide about these things!

Sandy - I love these bicycles - this approach on the YUPO is so dimensional. Your pictures from North Carolina are beautiful - such lovely country.

wow!! love this! how energized!
Hi ladies, Thanks for commenting. Ginny, I drew this on the YUPO with a Derwent watercolor pencil first, then redrew it with graphite pencil to make sure the final lines I wanted stayed put. The Derwent pencil would 'erase' with water where I messed up. Hoping it comes out like I envision....
It's great to watch you processing through this Sandy -it's a wonderful painting of sooo many bikes, think the darks do add to it. I must add I'm a bit envious of the fabulous workshop you went on - wish we had something like it over here.
Hej Sandy.
I find the first one fells like more light, but you are right , the brovn feels "heavy". Looking forward.
Learning a lot ;-)
